Paul announced today he will be releasing 'Maybe I'm Amazed' on Saturday 20th April to celebrate this year's Record Store Day. The live version was originally serviced as a radio-only promotional 12" vinyl single back in 1976 to herald the release of Wings Over America.

The limited edition 12" is being reissued exclusively for Record Store Day and faithfully reproduces the original release featuring both stereo and rare mono mixes of the classic Wings song.

Inside sources have told Beatlefan that the formal announcement for the "Wings Over America" reissue will be coming in two weeks time, with the deluxe package weighing in at a whopping EIGHT LBS. The source indicated that "Rockshow" (which is also due for separate release) is included.
